Since the construction was completed, I've actually been kind of fond of the fresh pond rotaries. At rush time, there's a delicate interplay between which side is backed up enough at any one time to allow traffic to flow unimpeded from the immediately downstream inlet to the one 2/3 of the way around.
You can see the remains of a rotary replaced by an inordinately confusing system of lights just above, where rt 2 intersects fresh pond. I don't know when that interesection was redone, as it certainly predates my arrival. But the traffic handling capacity is much lower there, which causes backups all the way through the rotaries at the worst times, in part leading to the delicate balance mentioned above.
Also, there's a couple of very hellish rotaries on Jamaicaway that I'm a bit disappointed not to see.
